Retrospective report on EGFR mutant NSCLC transformed to SCLC, suggested by Stephen V Liu

Stephen V Liu shared a post on X:

Retrospective report in European Journal of Cancer on EGFR mutant NSCLC transformed to SCLC. Post transformation, 93% were DLL3 positive. Are BiTEs like tarlatamab viable options here?

No clear current standard (chemo, chemo + TKI, chemo + IO).”

Tejas Patil, Thoracic oncologist CU Cancer Center, commented on Stephen V Liu’s post, adding:

“Very provocative finding for patients with EGFR NSCLC with SCLC transformation.

My immediate next question is what is the efficacy of DLL3 T cell bispecifics and TKI among cases where DLL3 expression is enriched?”

Small cell transformation in EGFR-mutated non-small cell lung cancer: DLL3 expression and efficacy of immune checkpoint inhibitors or tyrosine kinase inhibitors combined with chemotherapy
